June 5, 2007--Another example of individual initiative. Ed Roczey and Lu Ann Slay of Alpine, Calif. (San Diego area), have taken time off from work to spread the word about U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter's presidential campaign. Slay pointed to Hunter's stance for "closing the borders and having people come through the front door." "He set up the border fence, which is already working," she said. She also lauded Hunter for "making us aware of how China is cheating [on trade].

Slay said she and Roczey said have already contributed the maximum amount allowed to the campaign, and decided to do more. She estimated thy have spent almost $12,000 in the last six weeks. They started in April with a trip to Breezy Point in northern Minnesota; the idea was to "go some place that no one knows him." They brought their sign, which folds up to fit a two-foot suitcase. Subsequently they went to the Laughlin River Run bike rally in Laughlin, NV (late April), the debate at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, CA (May 3), the Kentucky Derby "at the main entrance" (May 5), the South Carolina Republican debate in Columbia, SC (May 15), and the Indianapolis 500 "at the main entrance" (May 27).
